Hi all I recently had a new clutch and flywheel changed on my 57 plate Audi A3 1.8TFSI. Just days after having the works done I noticed noises coming from under the bonnet. When depressing the clutch I get a squeaking noise, this noise only happens when the car is warm and has been driven for...

Hi all As above, my CAT N car has been crashed into again. Yes again :expressionless: 3 months after someone crashed into it and wrote it off someone else has just crashed into it as it was parked. As it has already been written off and classed as a CAT N, how does it work with claiming on...

Hi all As title says, some numpty has crashed into my car while it was parked. I have 3 witnesses and pictures of him at the scene after he hit me, so just waiting for him to admit liability (happened 7 days ago and he is yet to admit fault...) Anyway, onto my question. I have attached...

Hi all I am looking to service my car, this will be the first time I have ever serviced my own car so I am looking for some help as to what the key things to change are. I have listed a few things below that I am currently aware of: - Oil, air, fuel and pollen filters. - Spark plugs, oil...

Hi all I recently changed my PCV crankcase breather unit as my engine light was on. Since the replacement I seem to be losing oil very quickly? My oil light first came on a few weeks ago. As I hadn’t topped up in a year I thought nothing of it and just topped it up. It is worth noting that I...

Hi all My engine light came on around 2 months ago so I plugged it in and got a lean P0171 code which, at the time, I hoped was just a vacuum leak. I had a repair done at a garage on Monday so I asked them to plug a smoke machine in to check and they confirmed it was a vacuum leak. My issue...

Hi all I’ve had a dreadful Saturday. I drove to the gym as normal, came out of the gym and got 3 minutes down the road, attempted to pull out of a roundabout when my clutch pedal fell to the floor and didn’t return. Got stuck on the middle of a roundabout for a good 10 minutes! Luckily a police...

Hi all My check engine light came on yesterday, so I plugged my OBD2 reader in and it reported that my system is running too lean and provided the P0171 code. I’ve done some research online and found that a helpful diagnostic tool for this fault code is to read the “Short Term Fuel Trim...

Hi all So I have a very annoying and worrying noise coming from my engine bay. I’ve attached a video as it’s a hard noise to try and explain! It’s almost like a pumping (wob wob wob) sound. Please turn volume up to hear it best as the noise of the engine may wash the sound out. I get this...

Hi all Over the past couple of months I’ve noticed a very annoying and loud pumping/pulsating noise coming from my engine bay. I’ve attached a video of the noise, you may need to put it at full volume to hear it properly. It’s like a pumping/pulsating noise, kind of like a slow “wob, wob...

Hi all Please see attached images. I’ve just done a 120 mile trip and 5-10 miles from home my battery warning light came on, but the car continued to run perfectly fine. I’ve done some research and the best case scenario is a worn alternator belt, worst case is a faulty alternator. Before the...

Hi all Just had my first ever 4 wheel alignment done; please see attached for results. I can see on the results sheet that some are red indicating it isn’t within spec. The guy explained that where both sides are equally out it creates a 0 degree angle, meaning there is nothing to worry about...

Hi all I’m looking to replace the rear coil springs on my 3 door S Line A3. I went on EuroCarParts, put my number plate in and it returned springs that fit my car. However, when clicking on “fitment detail” none of them are for S Line suspension. They all say “With Sports chassis” or “Without...

Hi everyone As title says, I’ve noticed a thin black line around the edge of 3 of my tyres - is this normal? It’s got me thinking maybe I need an alignment done. I’ve also noticed that the rear driver side sits around 2cm lower than the rear passenger side - could this difference in height be...

Hi all This is my first post here so apologies if I ask something stupid or something that has been answered before. I recently bought an Audi A3 1.8 TFSI S Line 3 door on a 57 plate which I’m loving. I’ve changed the tail lights to the facelift ones which has made it look even better! It...
